2.8 DECIMAL format

To use continental formatting for decimal and numeric data: e.g. 200,12 where English uses 200.12, set the following:
A4GL_ALLOWCOMMAINDECIMAL=Y
A4GL_NUMERIC=,.
LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
The example is Italian. Set LANG appropriately for your country.
Similarly you can set:
A4GL_DB_NUMERIC
A4GL_SCANF_NUMERIC
See the chapter on Environment Variables.
